Sol the Stupid

While we in Australia may or may not be racist, the cheek of the departing American boss of Telstra, Sol Trujjilo, accusing us of racism. We hate you as a person Sol, what you did and didn't do and all that you stood for Sol, along with your avarice, incompetence, rudeness and general disagreableness. Absolutely nothing to do with your race. You were an arrogant prick.

Now just shut up, you've already buggered orf and so don't come back. Another fine appointee by the ex Prime Minister John Howard who lost his seat in what should be a safe electorate. Some things do give me pleasure in life.

Surprisingly Bolta sums it up quite well - 'poor' Sol, he couldn't be arsed learning about Aussie humour or culture, tried to shove his crap down our throats via Telstra then cried wee wee wee all the way home...after cashing our $31 million cheque.Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Actually, that reminds me of Serena Williams' Mumma playing the racist card a few years ago after her darling daughter kept everyone waiting to start an important match in Oz for a good long time and *surprise surprise* the crowd boo-ed her when she finally decided to grace the court with her presence. No apologies for being late, no excuse offered.Once back home Mumma Williams cried "racist" at the Aussie nation through the press.Can't take personal criticism/responsibilty? Cry racism.

Yes indeed Dina. He behaved like a kid who could not get his own way and threw a tantrum.

Two simple words Ian. Bad fit.

Don't suppose we could cancel the cheque Jayne? Not heard about the Williams case. As you might guess, there is the odd occasion of similar in my workplace. Discrimination because of stupidity or incompetence is not racism.

Think about his Aussie milieu for a second - he would have moved in 'executive' circles, corporate boxes etc., and probably never waited at a tramstop or in a supermarket queue - so whatthefuckwould he know.

I should however be grateful to him for his honest advertising with no small-type disclaimers, that causes me to have Telstra Next 3G broadband which drops out only every 5 minutes. ADIOS
